i think when my friends and family saw me using a cane they felt like i felt.
a little awkward.
but as i con't to use it, and at times my rollator, i got more comfortable.
same with using the electric cart in the grocery store.

another thing that might help your mom is to read some basic information about MS, say from the NMSS. as i educated my friends and family they better understood the disease and my sx's.
